On the second day of the police recruitment exam, candidates were seen jostling for seats in trains at the Central Station. This is the situation when half a dozen special trains are being operated by the railways in view of the exam. When the candidates entered the reserved coaches of many trains, they had an altercation with other passengers. RPF-GRP somehow managed them.
Special trains were run by the railway for Jhansi, Mathura, Banda, Lalitpur and Ghaziabad, while trains going to Khajuraho, Tundla, Lucknow and Raebareli were run with some delay in view of the exam timing. Despite this, candidates had to struggle for seats. After the paper was over in the evening shift on Saturday, there was a huge crowd on platform number four-five, six-seven, eight-nine of the station. As soon as the special trains arrived, the candidates ran to board them. Some tried to enter through the window, but were explained by the railway officials.
